 how you count it, where you mark the measures).  In some instances, I've attempted to

 B       -            E    -      F#m   -    D     - 
 knew what I had to do to be well-to-
 B       -      E    -     F#m     -     D     -

 Please don't say all the things I think I know that you're about to say
